As a male college student, I have not bought any sort of bread in the past 7 months. I bake all of it for me and my five roommates and I only think it responsible to be wearing such a quality top while doing so.

I’m lucky enough to have two bread baking men in my home. First my husband learned the skills, then my teenage son claims he learned the “art of bread fu” from Dad! With that shirt, Dad could learn the art of “fashion fu.”

“I have often maintained that the best poet is he who prepares our daily bread: the nearest baker, who does not imagine himself to be a god. He does his majestic and unpretentious work of kneading the dough, consigning it to the oven, baking it in golden colors, and handing us our daily bread as a duty of fellowship. And if the poet succeeds in achieving this simple consciousness, this too will be transformed into an element in an immense activity… the handing over of mankind’s products: bread, truth, wind, dreams.” Pablo Neruda, Nobel Address, 1971. Real men also write poetry 8^).

I’m a baker, and I’m okay.
I sleep all night and I work all day.
I knead my dough. I eat my lunch.
I go to the lavatory.
On Wednesdays I go shoppin’
And have buttered scones for tea.
I knead my dough. I skip and jump.
I like to press wild flowers.
I put on women’s clothing
And hang around in bars.
I knead my dough. I wear high heels,
Suspendies, and a bra.
I wish I’d been a girlie,
Just like my dear Papa.

This is a fantastic song. It will be stuck in my head all day.
My dad sent me a link to this, and I’d love to give him that shirt. Some of my earliest memories involve “daddy bread”, and how it was always so much better than store-bought.

my husband of ten years is the primary bread-maker of our household. our 15 mnth. old son loves to eat “papa’s bread” and gives him hugs and kisses as a way to express his appreciation. we are very lucky to have such a smart and caring man in our lives. he is most definitely “a real man”

Hi Susan,
I would wear this shirt with pride until it fell, torn and in tatters, soiled with flour and sweat from my battered torso. If I don’t win this shirt, then I will order several from the website link, it’s an awesome T.
Hope your classes are going well.
Happy Baking!
